Hi!

We would like for our users to be able to login with either their registered email (user name) or their name (display name).

For that I wanted to use the following code:

//var l_UserName = Spark.getData().userName;   // <-- does not work
var l_UserName = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify( Spark.getData())).userName;   // <-- works but super hacky

var l_PlayerCollection = Spark.systemCollection("player");

var l_Result = l_PlayerCollection.findOne({"displayName":l_UserName}, {}, {"userName": 1});

if (l_Result !== null)
{
    Spark.getLog().info(l_UserName+"  ->  "+l_Result.userName)
    Spark.getData().userName = l_Result.userName;     // <-- does not work at all
}

Their, I got two problems / potential bugs:

1. Getting the user name is quite tricky. Spark.getData())).userName only returns null. But logging the whole data gives you a normal JSON. Only if I parse it to string and back, I get the name out correctly. But hey, at least it's working..

2. But overwriting the name with the email does not work at all. How can i change the user name before actually doing the authentication?

 Hi Liam,

thanks allot for your fast answer. Sean mailed me as well. Don't know how the missing userName fields happened, but it was probably my fault.

Thanks allot and best regards
